PNP Chief Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa” denied the allegations and said that there was no special treatment given to the Cebu road rage suspect. The police chief explained that it was only normal for his family to ensure his safety inside the detention center.
The suspect was spotted earlier staying in an air-conditioned room at the Regional Intelligence Division before the fingerprints and mugshots of Lim were taken.

Based on the photos, Mr. Lim receives no special treatment from the authorities and he was equally treated like other inmates. His lawyer Orlando Salatandre said that they just only want to ensure the safety of Lim after receiving threats.
